There's not a lot gone on this week. I've been doing my exercises two or three times a day, and I've been going to work every day. Excluding sport, life is pretty much back to normal. I can buy things, walk about, I'm even painting and taking photos again.
I had physio again this week, although since I was told not to remove the brace by the surgeon there wasn't a lot the physio could do. She gave me a couple more exercises to get my quads building back up again. It's already noticeable how much my left leg has atrophied compared to the right.
The only other thing to note is that I've taken all the dressings off now. The wound is all but healed. Blood flow looks fine, if I press the skin the blood comes back just as fast as on the other leg. The only problem is that I seem to have lost sensation in the skin above half my patella. I guess that it's some nerve damage, I am going to see the consultant again on the 21st so we can find out for sure then. I also cant make my leg hyper-extend, that could be more nerve issues or it could just be the muscles cant do it at the moment.
